The YouTuber I was watching tries to be respectful to the decedents by talking about who they were as people before their murder, so she was talking about Grace Millane’s passion for art. I’m fucking gobsmacked. I’ve had this tattoo since Aug 2016. The artist made it seem like he made it himself and it was before Grace’s murder, but seriously what the fuck?? I’ve known about this for a few hours now and seriously, what the fuck?? Idk what else to say. What do you even do?? I might have never known if she weren’t dead, and I think that’s the worst part… it’s like nobody cared about her until she was dead.
I think the best I can do is try to find her signature online and try to find an artist who is willing to tattoo someone else’s signature? I know that’s not how respectable artists work but maybe, given the circumstances?
Art theft is super fucked up all the time, but the fact this woman’s namesake isn’t her art but her murder makes it even worse???

If it’s the watercolour skull, it isn’t an original concept, lots of artists have done comparable interpretations of it.
See Patrice Muricano as an example
I dont know how it works around the world, but when I was new to tattoos and didn’t know better, I used to pick a design off the wall and someone would tattoo it. Apparently some artists have done designs and open copyrighted (term?) so anyone can get them done
